Lawrence invaded by cold weather
By VICKY WILT Staff Reporter
Students driving home in Kansas will not have to worry about snow-packed roads or slick highways because snowfall predicted for today will not amount to more than a few flakes, a weather forecaster said yesterday.
But students were caught off guard yesterday as morning temperatures near 50 gave way to north winds and cooler temperatures yesterday afternoon, leaving many students burrying between buildings.
The next two days could be bitterly
cold for Lawrence residents, said Ron Crandall, lead forecaster at the National Weather Forecast Center in Miami. He expected to dip near 10 degrees tonight.
CRANDALL SAID yesterday's rain was a result of a low pressure system in the
Crandall said, "It's doubtful that we'll see snowfall here. In northern Kansas, there could be some snow and possibly sleet."
Another low pressure system moving across the northern part of the country should hit northern Nebraska within a week, bringing snowfall to northern Kansas.
Jim Penny, manager of the Farmers
LOCAL FARMERS welcomed yesterday's 16 inch of rain as they watched their dry fields soak up the few raindrops that hit the ground.
Co-op Association, 325 Locust St., said that snow would help to insulate the wheat.
Dave Smith, Douglas County extension agent, said the winter wheat crops had been dry for a long time and needed rain, but yesterday's spikiness were not.
But farmers with milo and bean crops still in the field were happy that the rain stopped so they could finish their harvest, he said.
The KU Weather Service predicted
that by. Thanksgiving Day temperature's should warm to the high 40's.
Students traveling across the country may find more hostile climates.
SNOW, SLEET and slush covered highways yesterday from southern Montana and northern Wyoming to Lake Superior. Most of the snowfall was light, but up to 7 inches was reported in a band from southwest Minnesota to the tip of Lake Superior to Duluth.
Afternoon temperatures were in the single digits or teens from Montana to Northern Minnesota, with readings in the mid-60s as far south as central Nebraska.
Fraternity to offer limited escort service

The Theta Chi pledge class hopes to alleviate some KU students' fear of nighttime violence on campus, the fraternity president said recently.
"They plan to offer escorts home from the library, late night tests, anywhere on campus," Lindsay Olsen, the president, said. "With all the things that could happen on campus, I think it's a good idea."
Rick Hays, Derby freshman and Theta Chi bledge, said the encort service was ready to serve any sorority woman from 6 p.m. to 12:15 a.m. Sunday through Thursday, an enrollment was made with the sororities.
"We can't offer a shepherd service to the entire school, because we're just not big enough." Hays said. "For it to work well, we need to try it with a group of our peers."
THE THETA CHI pledge class contains 14 members and the fraternity has 37 active members.
A woman wanting an escort has a choice of three phone numbers to call, Hays said. She should give her name, location and sorority affiliation when calling, he said.
If the weather makes it dangerous to drive a car on campus, a Theta Chi pledge will walk to wherever the woman is and walk her home, Hays said.
Only sorority members will be given the escort phone numbers, Hays said. However, if an unaffiliated woman does gain access to the phone numbers and needs an escort, she probably will not be rejected, he said.
HAVS SAID he hoped people in residence halls and scholarship halls would follow Theta Chi's example and demonstrate programs for women in their living groups.
KU Campus Safety Services created an escort service in November 1979 to provide escorts for students walking alone on campus, but the program died because few people volunteered to be escorts.
The service was re-born in March 1903, with shortened hours, but it
eventually succumbed to the same problem.
David Willett, Theta Chi pledge trainer, said he thought the Theta Chi escor service could thrive if it were resisted to a limited number of applicants.
"At first glance, it looks like we're being discriminator," Willett said. "We're just protecting ourselves. We need to kill the program before it gets started."
"I think it's absolutely terrific." Fink said. "It's really needed, and I think it's gotten a terrific response."
TV contracts may benefit team

Two new contracts will put more KU basketball games on TV during the next basketball season, and they are expected to offer a large number of coffers of the KU athletic department.
"In the future, we will make substan性地 northeast basketball." Wilson said.
Sid Wilson, KU sports information director, said recently that he was pleased with the two agreements, one a Big Eight contract with Metrosports and the other a statewide cable contract with Multimedia Cablevision.
the past from basketball, said Sawid.
MULTIMEDIA announced last week that it had contracted to broadcast five to seven KU basketball games during the 1983-84 season, and possibly more during the next five years.
KU will be paid a percentage based on the number of cable subscribers who sign up for the service. KU will also be paid a flat rate of $25,000 a year.
Don Sharris, president of Multimedia,
said the contract could earn KU at least
$10 million.
"It all depends on how well the marketing goes," Sharra said. "If a lot of cable subscribers sign up for the package, it could be worth quite a bit of money."
HE SAID the "Shocker Sports Superchannel," which he started last to broadcast Wichita State games, petted over $100.00 for Wichita State.
Sbarra said the contract was part of a statewide cable system to broadcast KU. Kansas State University and Kentucky's basketball games to cable subscribers.
Wilson said he did not know which games would be broadcast under the
contract, which takes effect during the 1983-84 season.
"Only one of the games will be a home game." Wilson said. "Last year, we thought TV might have kept some fans away from home games, so we're going to limit the number of homegame broadcasts this year."
The Big Eight Conference's recently negotiated three-year, $3 million contract with Metrosports will put the Jayhawks on TV Feb. 17, 1983, against Missouri. Wilson said he had not known all the stations would broadcast the game.
BILL HANCOCK. Big Eight service bureau director, said the contract would be for weeknight games and it would include some live and some delayed broadcasts. The schedule for each year will be determined during the summer preceding the season, he said.
Off-campus seat decided
Stephen Chapman won the Student Senate's off-campus seat by just one vote after the office of student organizations and activities recounted ballots in the off-campus race yesterday.
The Senate's Subcommittee on Elections announced last week that Robert Walker, Kansas City, Mo., sophomore, had defeated Chapman, Tulsa, Okla., sophomore, by three votes, 477-474.
But Chapman immediately demanded a recount, and Karen Jeltz, assistant director of student organization, marched the students to Harvard Charter Chapman the winner. 474-473.
Chapman was vacationing in Oklahoma and could not be reached for comment.

The Board of Class Officers selected scripts last night for Encore, a show similar in format to the traditional Rock Chalk Revue, the president of the festival.
Although every living group was encouraged to submit scripts, only fraternities and sororities participated, the BOOCO senior class president, said.
The five scripts selected were by Kappa Kappa Gamma and Sigma Nu, Gamma Pi Beta and Beta Theta Pi, Pi Beta Pi and Delta Upsilon, Alpha Chi Omega and Phi Gamma Delta, and Phi Gamma Pi, and Kappa Sigma, Pryor said.
LAST YEAR, BOCO received approval from the University Events
Committee to produce a show similar to Rock Chalk.
Like Rock Chalk, the show will consist of short skirts interspersed with musical performances. However, the skirts will be limited to 17 minutes each, Pryor said.
In previous years, proceeds from Rock Chalk went to KU-Y. The living groups were not reimbursed for their efforts, Pryor said.
This year, 40 percent of the profits from Encore will be returned to the living groups and 50 percent will be given to a charity. Pryor said. The percentage will be used to perpetuate the program for next year, he said.
tone auditioning should bring dance clothes and a prepared song. An accompanist will be provided and one dance will be taught at the auditions.

Groups give heaters to help aged, poor
KU's Interfraternity Council and Panhellenic Association are giving Kansas City 70 space heaters to city pumps who have had their gas service cut off.
About 30 more space heaters also will be distributed in Lawrence, Rita Moley, Overland Park junior and coordinator of the project, said yester-
Representatives of the IFC and Panheilenic will present the heaters to Kansas City Mayor Richard Berkley tomorrow morning, she said.
Moley said the heaters were a Thanksgiving offering from the two groups. Money to buy the heaters was $14,000. The sororites skipped one meal, she said.
"It was a rushed idea, but it's working out well," she said.
THE IDEA for the project did not occur until two weeks ago, when someone heard Mayor Berkley's plea for space heaters on the radio, she said.
Dorothy Brown, project coordinator for the distribution of space heaters in Kansas City, said 400 heaters had been given away in the city so far.
She said the donation by IFC and Pannelienc was terrific and hoped other college students would be motivated to do the same.
"Even though I'm an alum of KSU, I'm proud of them," she said.
Brown said over 4,000 people in the metropolitan area were without gas to heat their houses, but response to the program had been strong.
Kansas City is receiving the money to buy the heaters from individual donations, Brown said, and companies are selling the heaters at wholesale prices.
PEOPLE requesting the heaters have to go through a lengthy selection process, she said, and priority is given to older children, elderly and people with small children.
Moley said the IFC and Panhellenic also were buying their space heaters at
Committee to examine Sizeler's initial report
Five members of the Downtown Improvement Committee will meet in mid-December to review the preliminary findings of the developer chosen and Commission to organize proposed redevelopment of the downtown area.
The Dec. 17 meeting, which may be held in private, is scheduled to be followed by a public meeting of the full committee on Dec. 20 to hear a report about the findings of Sizerel, Inc., the Louisiana-based developer.
The DIC, which assisted the Lawrence City Commission in selecting Sizelier, met yesterday to talk about its role in the downtown project.
Pete Whitenight, chairman of the DIC, said the committee's decision to hold the meetings would be forwarded to Commission for its review and approval.
Richard Kershenbaum, a member of the committee, said that at least one public meeting should be held, during

which Sizeler would present several proposals for redevelopment of downtown Lawrence.
However, several other members of the committee said that the opportunity for a private meeting should exist in the future. These findings Sizeler was expected to present.
THIGSE FINDINGS are expected to deal with the land to be involved in the redevelopment and with ways of acquiring that land, they said.
I just have a feeling that they're not going to want to talk about their preliminary ideas in a public forum." Writtenen said.
On the record
The committee also will meet in mid-January to arrange a Jan. 28 meeting, at which Sizerel will make a public presentation of its basic design and its concepts for the redevelopment project.
Wittenight also asked that the commission clarify what role it wants the DIC to take until March 5, the date a formal proposal for redevelopment is submitted by Sieber to the city, and after that when the project is being implemented.
